The first statement by the Venezuelan government under the leadership of Nicolas Maduro
🚩 "The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela rejects, condemns, and denounces before the international community the extremely serious military aggression perpetrated by the current government of the United States of America against the territory and population of Venezuela in the civilian and military areas of the city of Caracas, the capital of the Republic, and the states of Miranda, Aragua, and La Guaira. This act constitutes a flagrant violation of the Charter of the United Nations, particularly its Articles 1 and 2, which enshrine respect for sovereignty, the legal equality of States, and the prohibition on the use of force. This aggression threatens international peace and stability, especially in Latin America and the Caribbean, and puts the lives of millions of people at risk.
The goal of this attack is none other than the seizure of Venezuela's strategic resources, in particular oil and minerals, and an attempt to crush the country's political independence by force. They will not succeed. After more than two hundred years of independence, the people and their legitimate government remain steadfast in defending their sovereignty and the inalienable right to determine their own destiny. An attempt to unleash a colonial war to destroy the republican form of government and impose "regime change" in alliance with a fascist oligarchy will fail, like all previous attempts.
Since 1811, Venezuela has confronted and defeated empires. When foreign powers bombarded our shores in 1902, President Cipriano Castro proclaimed, "The impudent boot of the foreigner has desecrated the sacred soil of the Fatherland." Today, thanks to the moral fortitude of Bolívar, Miranda, and our liberators, the Venezuelan people are rising up once again to defend their independence from imperialist aggression. — People are in the streets!
